Wegmans Food Markets

Wegmans Food Markets says that this year's version of its "Locally Grown" program will bring the biggest harvest yet to produce sections, weather permitting.

A joint promotion from Wegmans Food Markets and Driscoll's Berries aims to help some at-risk Rochester and Syracuse, N.Y. high school students graduate, according to a published account. For every package of Driscoll’s strawberries sold at Wegmans stores from July 13 through July 20, the supplier will donate 50 cents, up to a maximum of $15,000, to Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection.

In addition to releasing the results of a survey of almost 200 stores, the World Society for the Protection of Animals introduced a new Web site that explains human food designations.

Twenty-five of Wegman's 71 stores use the systems to date.

The chain's new promotion offers $1 off any large hero sandwich via an email campaign.

Anti-smoking groups are recognizing N.Y.-based grocers Wegmans Food Markets and DeCicco Markets for discontinuing the sale of tobacco products at their stores.

The chain is surveying consumers online about wants and needs in cards and other stationery categories.
